If my memory serves me right, it was 21 shillings to go on this trip.
There was just no way that could be justified. It is a lot of Cheshire milk bottles( we got threeha'pence for every one we took back).
Only ever went on one school trip...to Chester and the river Dee. That was ten bob and my grandma paid for that with her winnings from the horses.
Some lad threw my school beret in the river and that was another ten bob (seven and six for the beret and half a crown for the Peel Park badge).
